Last PhD for This Year (for me anyway)

Jill of Apple Avenue Quilts

This is my second and last Phd for this year. I really enjoyed making this quilt. I call it Spring Flowers. The design is by Kim Schaefer from a book called "Flowering Quilts".  

 I listed three PhD's that I wanted to finish but number three is not going to happen ever. I actually made seven blocks and decided that I was not liking this quilt at all. I really don't want to spend time making something I don't like so the pieces are going with my scraps to be used in another project.

Thanks so much to Myra!!!! Without her the two project that I did finish would still be waiting on a shelf.

Finally a PhD Finish!

I finally finished my first PhD. Here's a picture of it finished, bound and labeled and everything. I you would like to read more go here. Thank you so much Myra, without your challenge it might still be in a box waiting to be finished!

Jill From Apple Avenue Quilts' PhD's

Last year I participated in Myra's PhD Challenge and didn't do so good, so this year I decided to be more realistic. Last year I choose seven projects! Goodness what was I thinking!! This year I'm going with three. That sound much more doable.
#1. This was one of my projects from last year and it's still hanging out on my project shelves unfinished. I honestly don't know when I started this, but I suspect it was sometime in the nineties. All the blocks are cut out, ironed on, six are appliqued, two are started, and the last four are waiting. It's time to have this done!!!

#2. I just started this one in October, 2010. It's to go in my guest room and I would really like to get that room decorated. I need to do the machine applique and finish it.

#3. Last, but the one that's barely started. This is again for my guest room and only the setting blocks are cut out. Now I have to foundation piece all the other blocks and finish.

Hopefully my efforts this year will be better and I'll have all three projects done by June! Thanks Myra for sponsoring this!!!!
